Topaz Beauty: Yep, I'm a redder red head! Thanks, Louis Phillip Kee!

My friends (and I guess my readers, too!) know that I love coloring my hair red. I've colored it every hue except green and platinum, but red is my color. I've been red blond, red pink, red brown since 2009. But now, I'm red. Just red. A wild exciting red! Almost like I'm an anime character!
For color, I only trust Louis Phillip Kee. That's him supervising my marination. Louis is the best colorist in the country. I'm serious. If you're going for serious color change, go to Louis. He's been coloring my hair since 2006. Yes, this is a relationship! So when I dropped by the spankin' brand new Louis Phillip Kee Premier Salon at the Grand Midori at Legaspi Village two weeks ago, I was given the royal treatment. I love being friends with hairstylists!

Scrumptious club sandwich. Seriously, this was the best club sandwich I've ever had in my life!
Hello, world! Transformation underway!
While my hair was steeped in the red dye, I waited in my comfy chair, read some magazines, got an amazing back massage and had my nails done. But before all that, I took my camera and went around the chic salon.
Up the winding staircase, you'll find the VIP rooms.
The LPK Premier Salons attract celebrities and VIP clients so expect to get the A-list treatment here. I always feel so special in this salon. Like when I visit other salons (for a blowdry, for example), I always wonder, "Where's my coffee? My tea? My international and current magazines? My massage? My free WiFi?" Hehe, so spoiled! That's all the fault of the LPK Premier Salon! You'll feel so pampered!
Upstairs. The mirrors are perfect. No distortion. You'll always look good!
There are private rooms that I used to believe were only for the celebrities, you know, because they want to be protected from prying eyes while their hair is in a towel or their feet are being scrubbed. But I learned that these rooms are specially designed not just for celebs but for anyone who wants privacy. Plus, they're also perfect for special occasions, like bridal showers! Each room has a flat-screen TV for watching movies so that you won't get bored while you stew in your beautifying rituals!

Love the chrome and chandelier. So sleek!
A cozy corner for relaxing foot spa treatments.
After my color, Louis cut my hair. Vince and I wanted to keep it long. So did Louis. Louis was there when I went short for years and years. Having fine, thin hair, I never grew my hair long but Louis encouraged me to grow it and he has taken care of my hair so well that I am finally sporting long healthy locks for the first time in my life!

It's pretty wild!
But I LOVE it! I'm so fabulous!!!
That's Louis with one of the owners, Roseann Ko. She's so stylish and so nice! (Ok, I'm looking a little pudgy there. Don't look below the neck hehe.)
Louis and Roseann gave me gifts, too! A really good blowdryer and a big box of Kerastase and Wella goodies! Thank you so much!

I'm featuring Louis and his creative team of stylists in my Manila Bulletin column soon. You'll learn more about them, the craft and the salons on my column. This story on my blog is just my happy experience. If you want to experience the A-list treatment, too, book a whole day of pampering now!

Topaz Beauty: Souq Organics is on mega sale!

My love affair with Souq Organics started with this little bottle:
I super love this! The condition of my face improved so much!

So now I also use these:
This is my second bar. The first one lasted for months!
Because it's argan oil again and it's also organic.
This is actually my hubby's foot lotion because he runs thrice a week.

These are some of the best beauty products I've ever tried and, believe me, I've tried a lot! So isn't this such fabulous news?

Tamang-tama dahil mauubos na ang Moroccan Argan Oil ko!

The branch I know is the one on Katipunan Road, White Plains, but you can also find Souq Organics products at Landmark Trinoma and Landmark Makati; PCX at Power Plant, ATC, Robinsons Ermita, Festival Mall, and Greenbelt 3 and 4; Mercury Drug at Glorietta 3; Lucky Chinatown Mall Annex; and at NUMA Infantcare.

You can also shop conveniently at their website. Happy shopping!
